Survival tools take on many forms.  Sometimes, the forms are visable and sometimes they cannot not be seen.  At any rate, the ultimate aim is to reach the goal of victory.  With that thought in mind, I would like to share something that has really added to my arsenal of survival tools.  It reads:

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in your life, you will have been all of these" -George Washington Carver

In summation, I would like to encourage all who read this little message to be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation and  continue in prayer. (Romans 12:5).
